I don't know. People tend to overestimate how effective a super team will be. They have to work extra hard - more so than teams with just one star - to jell together, open each other up and maximize their effectiveness, otherwise they are just substituting shots for one another and not increasing their percentages that much. Only one player can have the ball at a time and you only get one shot per possession.

This. At some point, you run into diminishing returns when accumulating elite offensive players.

Taking shots away from Curry (the most efficient player in the league) doesn't help you. Even if the guy taking those shots is Durant. A guy like Durant might not even improve their offensive efficiency by much, but will cost the warriors a lot in terms of depth and defensive efficiency.
